A village in Kazakhstan showcasing its own «Wonders of the World» is rapidly gaining popularity on social media. Kursiv Lifestyle reveals where you can see the Statue of Liberty next to the Taj Mahal.

Blogger Pavel Zoteev shared photos from an unusual village on Threads. He was traveling with his wife and son across the Kostanay region and visited the village of Amangeldi, located 410 kilometers from the city of Kostanay — about a five-hour drive by car.

Replicas of world-famous landmarks are located in a multifunctional tourist complex on the outskirts of the village. The Eiffel Tower and the Statue of Liberty have already been erected, with the Taj Mahal set to appear soon.

The comment section is buzzing with excitement and jokes:

«To see Amangeldi and die,»

«When he said he’d show you the whole world but took you to Amangeldi,»

«Las Amangeldiles.»

Overall, users have praised the creativity of local authorities. The most common point made by commenters is that after a trip to Amangeldi, there’s no need to travel abroad to see the original landmarks.
